Zhu Yuanzhang was a genius. He had invented many vicious punishments!
Zhou Xun's death was not a simple beheading.
Instead, he suffered the punishment of having his tongue pulled out!
The executioner first clamped his tongue with a pair of fiery red iron pliers.
Then, he would pull out his entire tongue!
When he was wailing in pain, he would chop off his head!
Zhou Xun's head was hung at the city gate, and a notice of his crimes was hung on the city gate!
Zhu Yuanzhang was the one who restored the punishment of pulling out the tongue.
This was because Zhu Can's case had been deemed a false accusation by the court.
As a censor, he falsely accused the people and deliberately created an unjust case!
Zhou Xun's case was handled by Zhu Yuanzhang in the most serious way.
Other than pulling out his tongue, Emperor Hongwu also restored the punishment of pulling out his tendons.
He even created something so vicious.
Beheading was considered a relatively easy way to die in the Ming law.
Not to mention the torture of skinning the skin and planting grass!
Zhou Xun was publicly executed.
Zhu Can brought Li Jin and Hu Xi to watch the show.
It wasn't that Zhu Can's hobby was perverted, but he had to watch it!
Hongwu and Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the legal education of the common people.
Early in the morning, government runners came to inform the people that corrupt officials would be punished today!
This was how Da Ming educated the people.
Those who committed crimes would be punished, and the methods used were extremely cruel!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still showed mercy on Zhou Xun's case.
Zhou Xun was killed, and the Zhou family was only raided.
The things that the Zhou family could tell the way were still returned to the Zhou family.
Those who couldn't explain their origins were taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Zhu Bocheng's daughter became a widow as soon as she got married.
However, the Zhu family had given a lot of dowry back then, so these things now belonged to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Can killed Zhou Xun with one move.
It scared the Zhu family!
Zhu Bocheng and his brothers were sentenced to hard labor.
Ming's labor was very hard. To put it bluntly, it was free labor for the government.
These brothers had been beaten half to death by a hundred sticks.
Zhu Can heard that even his balls were smashed!
To be able to survive was a miracle.
Even so, he still had to drag his crippled body to do labor.
In order to survive, the Zhu family spent money to let the three Zhu brothers serve in the capital.
Otherwise, if he went to another place, he would really not have to live anymore.
The main job of labor was to build the city walls!
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Jinling, he had been building cities on a large scale.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu changed Jinling into the capital.
It was only in the 30th year of Hongwu's reign before his death that the capital was almost fully built!
The Jianwen Emperor had only been in power for a few years before Yongle ascended the throne.
Yongle stayed in the capital for a few years before going to Beiping.
After that, Jinling became the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Jin Ling City was not completely built yet.
The construction of the city wall was entirely dependent on manpower. This was definitely a tough job.
It was enough for these people to suffer a great sin!
Li Jin was still a little confused.
How did Zhou Xun die?
He felt like he had died inexplicably!
This was the imperial censor, the most honest and upright representative.
However, he didn't expect that he would be killed by Zhu Can in a few moves in the torture chamber!
He had always been worried that Zhu Can would play him to death.
In the end…
Zhou Xun's tongue had been pulled out and beheaded by the Emperor!
Zhu Can became the head of the grain department and actually got better and better!
This young master has a bright future!
Zhu Can had no pity for Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun colluded with the Zhu family to go against him.
Since they were enemies, they had to be punished to death!
He had already shown mercy by not continuing to move and letting Zhou Xun's entire family be executed.
Big Ming wasn't like the modern era where there were uncles who could help you reason things out.
This place relied on fists and power!
The lives of ordinary Hundred Believers were nothing.
For officials, they only needed to rule the people.
He just had to pay the taxes that he should pay every year and not cause trouble.
As for how the commoners lived, the government did not care!
As long as you don't cause trouble and starve to death!
It was impossible to expect the government to care about their well-being!
If they wanted to live a good life, they needed to work hard for themselves.
When you earn money from hard work, the government will come to you for money.
In the eyes of the government, the commoners were like rice that could be harvested!
This time, Zhu Can was able to resist Zhu Yunwen because of Xia Yuanji's help.
Old Zhu said something very right.
In Da Ming, only by becoming an official could one live like a human!
When you enter the officialdom, if others wanted to mess with you, they had to follow the unspoken rules of the officialdom.
It would be impossible to crush you like an ant!
However, Zhu Can did not have the ability to participate in the imperial examination.
There were many scholars in the capital, and they were all experts.
Just those two moves of his were nothing!
Zhu Can naturally wanted to be an official. The higher the official position, the closer he would be to the emperor.
This could increase his chances of success!
A high official had great power and could do even more things.
He would be able to participate in major events and increase his influence!
Everything Zhu Can did was to go home!
Kill Lao Zhu, burn the Ming Dynasty, and the world will be in chaos!
There was a high chance that he would be able to go home!
This time, Zhu Yunwen appeared in the plan, which was a little unexpected.
But from a strategic point of view, it did not affect Zhu Can's plan!
He had already dragged Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen in.
He saw Zhu Yunwen in the hall of the Ministry of Justice.
This kid was Cruel Malevolence, he was a schemer!
This kind of person was a cunning old man who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger!
The words he said to Zhu Yunwen would definitely leave a thorn in her heart.
Now, he just needed to let this thorn slowly grow.
When Zhu Yunwen could no longer tolerate this thorn in her heart.
Naturally, he would attack Zhu Di!
On the other hand, Yongle was a tough guy with good luck.
If these two people fought, it would be lively!
……
Zhu Can and the others went home for lunch before taking Li Jin to Ningguo County.
When they arrived at Ningguo County, they first reported their names.
Zhu Can realized that the people from the local yamen looked at him differently.
Other than curiosity, there was also respect.
This was influence!
One sentence killed the censor.
It was too awesome!
Xia Yuanji met Zhu Can. Zhu Can had come to find out what he was doing as the Head of Grain.
As a modern native, he only knew that the grain chief had to pay the grain.
However, this should only be the responsibility of the grain officer.
"You are the chief of the county's grain," Xia Yuanji said."You still have to persuade the people to farm, clear the land, and compile the Yellow Book Fish Scale Atlas! Collection, transportation, reporting, disputes between villages, you can also be in charge!”?
F * ck, this is a township cadre!
And the kind with boundless power!
What Zhu Can understood was that as long as it happened in the countryside, he could interfere.
Village and town officials, how many people wanted to do this!
It could be said that the soil of the Ming Dynasty.
The township officials were practically the local emperors!
"I still have to manage disputes?"
"What else can I do? Ning Country has 200,000 households, and it's Chi County. If all the lawsuits are sent to me, how can I handle them?”
"There are more than ten thousand grain chiefs in the world. They are the foundation of the imperial court!" Xia Yuanji laughed. His Majesty has promoted many grain officers, and you are the grain officer of the capital, so do you know how convenient it is?”
Right under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose.
As long as he did a little better, the emperor would know!
There was a high chance that he could enter the officialdom!
Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Can and suddenly revealed an awkward expression.
"Do you have money now?"
"What are you doing?" Zhu Can was very vigilant.
Don't think that just because you're a famous official and know your dead father, you want to cheat me of my money!
"The system of our dynasty, the post stations and mail routes, are all handled by the locals…" Xia Yuanji said.
Zhu Can knew that Da Ming had a mail system.
More than two hundred years later, a postman from the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, rebelled!
But what did this have to do with him?
"What do you mean by local responsibility?"
Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Can and said awkwardly,""The post station and mail route are servants of the imperial court. They can be served by the local people. The government will pay some of the fees, but the local government will have to bear most of the costs! The poor farmers can't afford the expenses of horses, fodder, and candles. Usually, the government appoints the big families…"
"So, you have to be rich, and very rich! Otherwise, we won't be able to afford the expenses!"
